1. Data collected

Data may include names, contact details, account credentials, company and authority information, membership and payment references, verification documents, listings, enquiries, legal acceptances, mandate requests, technical logs and communications.

2. Purposes

• Operate accounts, memberships and Stripe-linked onboarding.
• Verify identities, companies, licences, mandates and institutions.
• Review listings and protected introduction requests.
• Prevent fraud, secure the platform and comply with law.
• Administer contracts, fees, records, complaints and disputes.
• Send necessary service communications and, where permitted, relevant sector information.

3. Legal bases and jurisdiction

Depending on the user and applicable law, processing may be based on contract, pre-contractual steps, legitimate interests, legal obligations, consent or protection of legal claims. GMZ should not be assumed to be established in every country from which the site is accessed.

4. Payment data

Stripe processes checkout and subscription payment information under its own terms. GMZ normally receives transaction references, customer details and status rather than complete card data.

5. Documents and restricted data

Verification and marketplace documents are intended for controlled review. Access is limited, but no internet or storage system can be guaranteed absolutely secure. Users should redact unnecessary sensitive data and upload only what they are authorised to provide.

6. Sharing and international transfers

Data may be shared with hosting, payment, email, security, professional-adviser and transaction-review providers, or competent authorities where required. International services may process data outside the user’s country subject to applicable safeguards.

7. Retention and rights

Records are retained according to operational, accounting, security, compliance, dispute and legal-claim needs. Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights to access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability or complaint, subject to lawful exceptions.

8. Cookies and technical storage

The site may use essential login, security, preference, analytics and embedded-service cookies or similar technologies. Non-essential tools should be controlled according to the site configuration and applicable consent requirements.

9. Contact and requests

Questions, notices or formal correspondence should be submitted through the contact route published on gmz.ge. Transaction-specific notices must also follow the notice clause in the relevant signed agreement.
